Instantly see where a Candidate is in your procurement process.

Instantly seeing what stage of the recruiting process a Candidate is in helps you quickly identify steps to ensure the process stays on track. Your Beeline workflows can be configured with Candidate Statuses that define transitional onboarding stages. Candidate Statuses give users an at-a-glance summary of the progress and standing of a Candidate or a requisition.

In addition to Candidate Statuses, your workflows can include settings (called Allowed Actions) that limit and direct which actions users can take on a Candidate or a requisition.

TIP:     Allowed Actions can be permitted or denied based on a Candidate Statuses.

Candidate Statuses and Allowed Actions help you to track and manage the different steps within your recruiting lifecycle. Plus, you can use Candidate Statuses to help control the Candidate’s experience by ensuring they move through your pipeline quickly.

Main Benefits

  • Track and manage the different steps in your Candidate and request lifecycles.
  • Ensure your users take the correct actions to smoothly move a Candidate or a request through your onboarding process.
  • Set up alternate status with visibility controlled by user role.
  • Trigger updates to your worker downloads so onboarding activities for Candidates are terminated, which keeps your automated integrations synchronized.
  • Ensure your automated worker upload and download integrations operate smoothly.

Persona

Program Office users.

Action required

Creating Candidate Statuses and Allowed Actions to fit your organization’s onboarding workflows requires a Service Request ticket and Beeline Enterprise configuration.

Alternate statuses

You can also set up alternate statuses and control who see which status based on the user’s role.

For example, you organization might track more details related to approvals that you want to be visible only to your users. Assume you have a Candidate you’re ready to submit an offer to. But a last-minute bill rate increase was received that requires a new approval by your Financial Controller. You have an internal status of Pending Financial Controller Approval but your Supplier sees an Offer Pending Approval status.

Alternate status can be shown on these pages in your Enterprise VMS:

  • Candidate Confirmed by Client Approval Details Control (Offer Workflow)
  • Candidate Submitted to Client Approval Details Control (Candidate Submission Workflow)
  • Candidates tab on the Request Edit page
  • Candidate Edit page
  • Set Candidate Status page
  • Candidate List page (Manage/Search>Candidates)
  • Resource Edit page
  • Activity tab
